Research Tools: New Beta Version of USASpending.gov Now Live

From Matt Rumsey at the Sunlight Foundation:

On May 9th, federal agencies will officially begin reporting data in compliance with the open standards created under the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act, the landmark legislation that cleared Congress in 2014. (It’s called the DATA Act, for short, which is how we refer to it today.)
The data will start flowing to beta.usaspending.gov in the coming days and will eventually be transitioned to USAspending.gov, the long term online home of federal spending data.

Includes history and future plans re: DATA Act.
Direct to USASpending.gov (Beta)
UPDATE: A bit more from FederalNewsRadio.com:

…in September, Treasury will move it [the beta] to the current USASpending website. In the meantime, agencies already have added spending data to the site. The data behind the new site will be available on the site’s Application Programming Interface, or API.
